| Reverse description | A Latin cross potent on a stepped base occupies the central field, enclosed within a beaded inner circle and a wreath border rendered in a distinctive Merovingian style. The cross arms are boldly raised in high relief, with the stepped base clearly articulated. Around the outer margin runs a blundered and partially retrograde Latin legend referencing the victory of the Augusti, interspersed with the mint and officina marks in the exergue. The composition closely imitates the standard reverse type of contemporary Byzantine solidi, though the lettering and ornamental details betray local Frankish craftsmanship. |
